Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"It might be a bit windy, please bear with it."

Black Flying Dragon's eyes flickered slightly, and the floating cannons on his trench coat flew out and landed on the girl's clothes, enveloping her in a faint light screen.

The speed of the ship girls is too fast for normal people to keep up with, and this light barrier can help block it.

"Ok."

Avira responded, but gripped the black dragon's hand even tighter.

Chapter Ninety-Six: Bad Luck

"Um, Miss Black Dragon, are you on a mission?"

The black-haired girl sat sideways on the black dragon's ship rigging; despite the protective layer, her hair was still being blown around by the wind.

"I guess so. It's not a particularly important mission. Can any of you contact Amagi and the others?"

After answering the question, Black Flying Dragon turned to look at Snow Wind and the others beside him.

To her shame, she had known Tiancheng for so long, yet she didn't even have his contact information.

The four destroyers looked at each other and shook their heads.

"I have Shoukaku's contact number, is that alright?"

Ayanami took out her phone, looked around, and said to Black Flying Dragon.

"Alright, tell me about our movements."

The black dragon responded.

Ayanami nodded and began editing the information.

"Okinawa, I've heard it's a tourist area. I wonder if the people there are easy to talk to?"

Fubuki stood beside Black Flying Dragon, pondering as she spoke.

"We're not on vacation, really, how can there be such irresponsible ship girls?"

The snow wind howled angrily.

Avira smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"You too, you won't be able to establish authority like this, or the ship girls will bully you!"

Yukikaze looked at Avira with a fierce expression.

"Wait a minute? Even though everyone's personalities are a bit strange, they don't bully me."

Avira shook her head, disagreeing with Yukikaze's intimidation.

"...Excuse me for being rude, Miss Avira, which ship was your initial ship?"

Black Flying Dragon felt that this person was completely a pampered young lady who was naive and inexperienced in worldly affairs.

"Initial ship? Ah, you mean the first ship girl built? I think it's Graf Zeppelin, you know, she's from the Ironblood faction."

"Ivyla thought for a moment and said."

“Zeppelin…that must have been really tough.”

Black Dragon nodded, but she quickly realized that her initial ship was a Zeppelin, so it was unlikely that she would be forced to split up and escape at sea by the Sirens.

"And then there's Glorious and Amagi; all three of them have quite a good figure."

Avira continued.

"...How were you scattered?"

Black Dragon's eyebrows twitched. These three people combined could probably take on at least ten Sirens, if not twenty.

"Actually, I'm not really sure either. It seems that after encountering the Sirens, none of the three wanted to fight, so they abandoned the warship with me, and then we got separated without realizing it."

"Ivy said with some confusion."

"..."

Black Dragon felt his blood pressure starting to rise.

"It's better to get rid of these unreliable ship girls as soon as possible and replace them with some capable ones."

Several people around also heard this and spoke without any mercy.

Although one of the three is Amagi, even ships with the same name can differ in quality, and there are Amagi who have been raised to be lazy by their commander.

"...Let's get to the port area first and then we'll talk."

Black Dragon stopped the others from complaining and said.

"Ok."

Avira answered obediently.

"I never imagined there were such unreliable ship girls in this world."

Black Dragon felt he had learned something new.

"Speaking of which, Miss Black Dragon, which port are you a ship girl from?"

Avira heard the black dragon muttering and asked in a low voice.

"The free port area over in Donghuang."

Black Dragon answered.

although

His personality is a bit strange, but he is a commander after all, and he might even be from a super rich family and have exceptionally good luck. It wouldn't hurt to chat with him more.

"Hmm~ I've heard of it. It seems to be an independent port area responsible for clearing out the Sirens outside the outer perimeter of the port area?"

Avira nodded.

"almost."

Black Dragon responded and simultaneously controlled the reconnaissance plane to scout around the area. They were still quite far from Sakura Empire, so being cautious wouldn't hurt.

"Yeah, actually when I was still in school, I heard that there was a Siren stronghold near Okinawa. My ex-boyfriend there died because he was suddenly attacked by Sirens there."

Avira nodded and spoke to the black dragon.

"Is that so? I'll look for it when we get there."

Black Flying Dragon raised an eyebrow. Since they knew about the Sirens' stronghold, why didn't the Sakura Empire deal with it?

"Huh? Is there a Sirens outpost over there?"

Yukikaze asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You didn't notice either?"

Black Flying Dragon looked at Ayanami and the others.

"No desu was found."

Ayanami also shook her head.

"Could this be internal intelligence among the commanders?"

Black Dragon was taken aback. He hadn't accomplished anything this time, but he had obtained information about the Sirens, so it wasn't a wasted trip.

“If you don’t mind, Miss Black Dragon, could you exchange contact information with me? If there’s any more information about the Sirens in the future, I can tell you.”

Avira asked tentatively.

"No problem, but please wait a moment, some uninvited guests are coming."

Black Flying Dragon watched the scene reflected by the carrier-based aircraft.

Their current location is roughly in the area between the Sakura Empire mainland and Okinawa. This planet is quite large, and the distance between the two is also much wider, but there is no port in between, so this area can barely be considered a dangerous zone.

In Black Dragon's line of sight, there were Sirens on the left, right, and front sides, and there were more than ten of them in each direction.

Their target was very clear: they were coming for them.

"Finally, someone who's not afraid of death has come?"

Yuudachi, who was at the very front, was very happy.

"Don't be too happy yet, there are quite a lot of them. Let's retreat. Lingbo, please explain our situation to Xianghe again."

Black Dragon's gaze swept over the configuration of the three Sirens, totaling thirty-nine Sirens, including five battleships and three aircraft carriers. A direct confrontation was not a wise choice.

"clear."

Ayanami begins contacting Shoukaku.

Black Dragon led his team to retreat in the direction they had come from, and several destroyers also became serious, protecting Black Dragon around them.

Then, Black Dragon discovered that the Sirens had also turned around and were chasing after them. The closest one was the one on the right, and the two were only seventy nautical miles apart.

"Is there something underwater here? How come it's been located?"

The black dragon noticed this and activated its sonar to investigate, but found no strange reaction.

"I think I was attacked around here."

"Ivy thought for a moment and then said."

"No wonder... Rei, did you reply?"

Black Dragon felt that his group might have misunderstood the ship girl.

"Yes, they seem to be very interested in the Sirens' stronghold, and everyone is planning to come and take a look."

Ayanami answered.

"Then let's wait a little longer. Please be patient and deal with these Sirens before we can pass safely."

The Black Dragon spoke first to the destroyers, and then to Avira.

"I see."

Avira's little face was all tense, which looked strangely cute.

Black Dragon observed the Sirens still chasing after them and sighed.
